An injured and staggering girl is captured in the woods. She awakens tied to a post in a basement, with many people present. The girl's father, Harold, is about to light her on fire, and she initially pleads for him to save her but then quickly reveals she is possessed. She is then set on fire before Harold shoots her in the head.

The gory scene sets the stage for this much anticipated remake of the 1981 cult-horror film, co-written and directed by Fede Alvarez.‘Evil Dead’ is the fourth installment of the Evil Dead franchise, serving as both a reboot and as a loose continuation of the series.While it is the first not to be directed by Sam Raimi, Raimi himself chose Alvarez who will make his feature debut.

In the 2013 film, ‘Evil Dead’, five twenty-something friends become holed up in a remote cabin. When they discover a Book of the Dead, they unwittingly summon up dormant demons living in the nearby woods, which possess the youngsters in succession until only one is left intact to fight for survival.

Rated R for strong, bloody violence and gore, some sexual content and language, ‘Evil Dead’ will hit the big screen at Brush’s Sands Theatre on the night of Friday, May 3 and run through Thursday, May 9, with show times set for 7:30 pm nightly and a 3pm Sunday matinee.
